Up early in the plastic box hotel, packed and then down for my own home made breakfast of bread, cheese and onion!
Set tomtom for Perpignan and made good progress on the D class roads that seemed empty.
Past Montpellier, and then saw signs for the Herault Gorge where we ad been canoeing when on a previous visit to Jill and Mark when they lived in Montpellier.
On from the Spanish border and over to Figueras and then Ripoll on the route through the Pyranees to Andorra.
Stopped in Ripoll and enquired at the tourist office about accomodation and internet access. Both available so decided to stay the night here. Sorted out accomodation in a small bistro/hotel for €33 and then went to the beautiful new library where they let me have access on their modern fast machines.
Lovely meal in the bistro place lamb done in the catalan style (cooked in the oven!).
More later
TOR
I remember Hemingway writing about Figueras and the bull runs?
